Is Right-Wing Extremism Rising Because of the Economy?

The Department of Homeland Security thinks so.

Clueless or just a LIAR?

I had a bad feeling when GWB declared the "Department of Homeland Security" because I knew it would be misused eventually. Absolutely no coincidence that Mr. Obama had this report released on the same day as the TeaParties. He also gave his version of Tax Simplification speech while saying "I was unaware of the TeaParties".

WE, including many former Obama supporters, are NOT GOING AWAY.

Not extremists, FREEDOM LOVING AMERICANS!

Arrogance

I can't believe they say the economy makes right wing extremists. No, you morons its the oppressive government that makes people want freedom and limited government as guaranteed in the constitution, not massive unlimited government power, police harassing and fining people all the time, massive imprisonment of non-violent drug offenders, continued looting of our money and sovereignty. The arrogance! What did you think was going to happen you morons? You call this right wing extremism? Call it whatever you want. You know what it is and you can't stop it from spreading. Its called the people taking power back from the federal government and international organizations. Its called our duty to invoke our constitutional authority to overthrow this government for its many violations of the constitution and abuse of power.

Dirty politics

Dems misusing national security apparatus to make political hay.

How about...

Reporting on the carbon footprint that your left-wing messiah is leaving because he has to hop in a plane and fly all over the place. That would be a good one. How about this, the excessive and punitive taxation that Team Obama wants to enact? By the way where is my tax cut that the loon squad was talking about before signing the porkulus bill? These are just some thoughts, I do hope that someone from www.usnews.com, will actually reply.

Extremism

I saw the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, actually talking about secession yesterday during a teabag party in Fort Worth. Silly? Yes, but the fact that he had to pay lip service to it at all in order to curry favor with "mainstream" conservatives in Texas is telling

Extremism

Personally, I think the left is extreme, not the right...please!

Media

Again,,, the media is trying to create news instead of reporting.

Getting so you can't trust anyone.

If you folks would just do the job you were hired to do, what a wonderful world it would be.:-)

USN: part of the slobbering love affair

What you apparently missed yesterday during the tax Day Tea Parties was American Citizens PEACEFULLY gathering to voice their concerns about the direction the country was heading. NOT interupting congressional testimony or squelching anyone elses right to free speech like some pink shirted wacko's protesting Iraq, NOT blowing up car dealerships, NOT throwing blood or feces on fur wearing, meat eating citizens, NOT driving spikes into trees to kill or injure an American worker while he does his job...

How about reporting some facts USN? How about just reporting, not spinning, you're part of the problem, what you witnessed yesterday was the beginning of the solution.

I didn't see the Bush Adminstration

Issuing any warning about the left-wing Extremism over the last 8 years.

I haven't seen any Right-Wing Extremism burning car dealerships or hateful websites promoting hate towards the left.

It is sad to see what has happened to the media in this country. The media was once the watch dog for the people, now most are just an extention of the left-wing democratic party. It's no wonder that sales of newpapers are down and the viewership is also dropping. Until the media gets back to being the flashlight that exposes the roachs (Dems & Reps)they will continue to decline.
